Welcome to your future life!Technology will allow homes in the future to be“smart”. Household machines will communicate with each other—and with you.Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat.Refrigerators will suggest recipes(食谱) based on food items you already have.The technology is possible because of tiny information-storing devices called RFID chips.Future RFID chips will store information about all the things in your cupboards.For example, they will record the date that you b ought each thing.Other devices will “read” this information using radio waves.When you need more food, your cupboards will tell you to buy it.Are you tired of the color of your walls? In a smart home, you won't have to repaint them.The walls will actually be digital screens, like TV screens.The technology is called OLED, and it's here already.OLED walls will become clear, like windows or display colors and patterns.A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house.Called “ambient intelligence(环境智能)”, this computer “brain” will control your whole house.It will suit your preferences.Your house will learn about your likes and dislikes.It will then use that knowledge to control the environment.For example, it will set the heat in the house to your favorite temperature.It will alsoturn on the radio in the morning because you like to listen to the news then.But how about your cooked breakfast and the umbrella you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper.Futurologists predict that many homes will have robots in the future.Robots already do many things.But scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots—ones that people will feel more comfortable having around in the house.How soon will this smart home be a reality? There's a good chance it will be a part of your life in 25 or 30 years, perhaps sooner.13.You should thank for the umbrella you found by the door.A.the smart cupboardB.the radio wavesC.the household machinesD.the robot helper14.According to the passage, the writer believes that in the future .A.painters won't have to paint the wallsB.robots will be more intelligent than peopleC.ambient intelligence will know your interests wellD.your stove will seldom communicate with you15.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.How will we live?B.How will OLED work?C.What will smart house be like?D.How soon will smart home be a reality?Ⅲ.[2018·海淀二模]阅读短文,根据短文回答问题Email helps workers to communicate at any time, from any place.Email is an important tool, but it can also lead to a waste of time.How can workers make sure that email is a tool and not a time-waster? Here are some simple tips to follow.They can help you use email more efficiently(高效地) at work.First of all, turn off the sound in your computer that tells you that you have a new email message.That “You've got mail!” sound is like a telephone or a doorbell.It interrupts your work.When you hear it, you will want to check your messages.And it will take you at least a few minutes to get back to work after that.Can you imagine how much time you waste because of that little sound?Second, limit how often you check your email.Try checking it only three times a day, for example, at 9:00, 12:00 and 16:00.Also, limit the time you spend reading and answering email each time.Fifteen minutesis usually long enough.Third, use a separate email account for work and personal life.Do not give your work address to friends or family, and do not give your personal address to people at work.If you are working on several projects at one time, use a separate email account for each one.So you can focus on the most important project.Fourth, you won't have to read all the email messages every time you open your email.You can look quickly at the subject lines and then decide which messages to answer right away.You can read the others later.Finally, do not always use “reply to all” to answer email.Only send the message to people who need to read your answer.That way, you won't fill your workmates' inboxes with messages that they don't need.And they won't waste time reading them.If you follow these simple steps, you will be a more efficient worker.Best of all, you will be able to leave the office earlier.16.Does email help workers to communicate at any time?17.How long should you spend reading and answering email each time?18.Why is it necessary to use a separate email account for each project?19.How can you decide which messages to answer right away?20.What is the passage mainly about?参考答案Ⅰ.1—6 CABBBC 7—12 ACADCCⅡ.[主旨大意] 本文主要从厨房,家居环境,机器人等方面对未来的生活进行了展望。

They're all dead! Come on,face the fact.There's nothing you can do! ” To each parent he just replied,“Are you going to help me now?”No one helped.And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.Courageously he went on along because he needed to know for himself:“Is my boy alive or is he dead?”He dug for 8 hours⋯12 hours⋯24 hours⋯36 hours⋯Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone andheard his son's voice.He screamed his son's name,“ARMAND!” He heard back,“Dad! It's me, Dad! I told theother kids not to worry.I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they'dbe saved.You promised,‘No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”“What's going on there? ” the father asked anxiously.“There are 14 of us left out of33, Dad.We're very frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you'rehere.When the building fell down, it made a triangle(三角形), and it saved us.”“Come out, boy! ”“No, Dad!

In her TED presentation The Power of Believing You Can Improve, Carol Dweck, a psychologist(心理学家),explains the power of “Not Yet”: If you get a failing grade, you think you're nothing.But if you get the grade“Not Yet”, you understand that you're on the way to the future.In one study led by Dweck, she wanted to see how children dealt with challenges and difficulties.She gave 10-year-old children problems that were a bit too hard for them.“Some of them behaved in a surprisingly positive way,” explained Dweck.“They said things like ‘I love a challenge.’ or ‘I thi nk I've learned something from this.’”.These children had a“growth mindset”.They understood that their abilities could3be developed.They didn't run from error(失误); they learned from it.But other children felt it was terrible to make an error.They felt their intelligence(才智)had been used up.These children had a “fixed mindset”.They didn't believe they could do anything to improve the situation.In the follow-up studies, Dweck learned these children were more likely to cheat.They looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel better about themselves.The children with a fixed mindset were operating from the “Now”, however, the children with a growth mindset were operating from the “Not Yet”.We all have things we want to improve.The problem, however, is few of us believe we can.We believe we're not smart, or we don't have enough time.We believe we can't persist(坚持) in the face of difficulties or learn from criticism(批评).It's a result of a fixed mindset.But the wonderful reality is we can move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset once we know how.First, believe you can change, now.Not tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year, but now.Next, for every negative(负面的)thought, write down a positive answer.So when your self-talk says,“I tri ed running before and gave up after a week.”, you can reply,“That's because I didn't have a carefully designed plan.Now I have one and I'm going to stick to it.”Developing a growth mindset takes time and effort, but over time, with enough practice, you'll operate less from the “Now” and more from the “Not Yet”.13.Why does the school in Chicago use “Not Yet” instead of “Failed” to grade students?A.To keep students from losing confidence.B.To help students realize their weak points.C.To advise students to take the test a second time.D.To make students understand their future is uncertain.14.Which of the following statements shows that the person has a “growth mindset”?44A.“I failed in the task.I was nothing.”B.“I can't stick to taking exercise.I'm too busy.”C.“I know math is interesting but I am not smart for it.”D.“I didn't win the competition but I learned a lot from it.”15.What can we learn from the passage?A.Most people believe they can improve themselves.B.Dweck did the study to help children get better grades.C.Some children cheated in the study and were punished.D.People can follow some ways to develop a growth mindset.Ⅲ.[2018·北京]阅读短文,根据短文回答问题When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E.Have you ever thought about why that is so?In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades.An F in this system simply stands for “fail”.The word“fail” happens to start with the letter F, which s eems to leave out the letter E.The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean“not-passing” or “fail”.Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”.Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College.In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:A:95—100%(excellent) B:85—94%(good)C:76—84%(fair) D:75%(barely passed)E:below 75%(failed)56 6 We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US.However, many schools decidedto drop the E grade and go straight to F.There is no evidence(证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for“excellent”.Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools.As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms.Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don't fully reflect(反映) student learning.However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids.They are familiar(熟悉的) and easy for parents to understand.So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren't going away any time soon.16.What does an F stand for in the A, B, C, D and F grading system?17.When was the letter grading system first used in the US college?18.What is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade?19.What did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century?20.Why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today?78 8 参考答案Ⅰ.1—6 BDBABB 7—12 CDDDCAⅡ.[主旨大意] 心理学家Dweck研究发现“成长思维模式”的人勇于面对挑战,能够从失误中学习,而“固定思维模式”的人不相信自己,害怕犯错误,文中同时介绍了从“固定思维模式”到“成长思维模式”的转变方法。
